BLACK CREEK ROARS OVER NOCCALULA FALLS 130116

Wednesday, January 16, 2013 1:25 PM

After a week of rain in Central Alabama Black Creek roars over Noccalula Falls in Gadsden. The roaring water drops 90 feet off a slight horseshoe shaped ledge sending a mist high into the air. The pedestrian bridge over Black Creek above the falls has been closed until the water subsides. The roar of the water at the falls can be herd from the road in front of the park. Several inches of rain has fallen over the past week causing rivers and streams to overflow their banks. A flood watch is in effect for many Central Alabama counties until 6 a.m. Thursday. More heavy rain is expected through Thursday with a slight chance of snow flurries. (Joe Songer/jsonger@al.com).
